Did that really just happen?!

People are funny. Please, allow me to relay a [mostly one-sided] conversation I overheard while I was in line at the Dollar Tree.

But first, let me describe the characters involved.

Character #1: A girl who looked about 16, loudly chewing gum, standing behind the cashier. (She had been following another employee around earlier rattling off questions and senseless statements)

Character #2: The cashier. Poor man.

(Julianne walks up to the cashier, ready to pay.)

Aaaaaaaand.....action.

Girl: I know the Dollar Tree better than anyone else... I know all the employees, too... Even the manager....He knows me because I follow him around and bug him all day...hahahahaha...and my mom know him too...but yeah, I know all the employees....except for I don't know Aaron very well...but I really want to.

Cashier: Why is that?

Girl: Because he's cute, and I want to go out with him...because he's cute and he goes to PCC...and I go to PCC... and he has a real job...and he's 18, and I'm 18, and you're 18...

Cashier: I'm not 18.

Girl: Are you 21?

Cashier: No...

Girl: 19? 17? How old are you?...

(Julianne and Lydia exchange awkward glances as they exit the store...)

End scene.

Did that really just happen? Yes, yes it did.

Poor Dollar Tree employees, I feel sorry for you, but thank you for the good laughs.

People are funny.
